Helen Winter, Port Coquitlam, BCMember Since June 2011Artist Statement Hello. My name is Helen Winter. I have been involved in art since early childhood. As long as I can remember, I've had a pencil in my hand. I studied and earned a Classic Art Education and a Degree as an Architect... I was too busy to be a full time student and a full time mom at the same time that I never worked as an Architect. Instead, I worked as a sculpture teacher for a four years until I started my career in desktop publishing, but my old passion for pencil drawing hasn't gone away. Working at school and raising my girls I was fully involved in a kids world and because of that I started to draw pictures for kids with cute little creatures. It's not possible to live in Beautiful British Columbia and separate yourself from a nature. I tried to put all of those colours in to my paintings. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Helen Winter
